Fork time? Maybe all the anti-systemd zealots were right all along…

    also these numbers are kind of hard to compare, guix probably has like 100s of emacs plugins in its repos that are counted as seperate packages

      Yeah I’m more concerned about whether it has what I actually want. Which when I used it over a year ago it was missing tons of programs I use (both first and third party channels) and Nix was not. Although it’s nice to see that Niri and Helix are packaged now and their Rust packaging improvements. Other aspect is the flake ecosystem, where Nix has flakes for things like styling, security hardening, etc whereas Guix didn’t seem to have a flake-like implementation at all. Although at least it’s an alternative if systemd really goes to shit.
